What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Bythorn without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Bythorn
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you come to Bythorn?
We do. Technicians travel to Bythorn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
